SUB+IDX → SRT
DVD VobSub OCR is in development. No quota or credits are used yet.
This converter is not accepting files yet, and it will not use quota or credits until the VobSub OCR engine is live. For now, export SRT from SubtitleEdit and bring that text file back into the OmniSubs tools.
Frequently asked questions
Why two files?
VobSub stores subtitle bitmaps in .sub and timing/palette metadata in .idx. Both are needed for OCR.
Where do I get .sub and .idx?
Tools like MakeMKV, HandBrake, or DVDFab extract them from a DVD. Or VLC with the right options.
Can I upload VobSub files here today?
Not yet. The OCR engine is still in development, so this page does not accept files or use credits.
What should I use meanwhile?
Use a desktop OCR tool such as SubtitleEdit to export the pair as SRT, then bring the SRT back to OmniSubs for cleanup, syncing, conversion, or translation.
